Most of the other RWD sporty cars are driven by pretty cool guys around my town, we usually talk at stoplights. Trucks seem to be the worst, followed by 4th generation F-bodies, then BMWs. My first full day with the car, a Grand Caravan squeed away from a stoplight next to me.

People seem to be recognizing that the little blue sports car in town has a super boring driver. That's cool with me, I only drive like a maniac when nobody else is around.

Had a Hyundai Genesis 2.0T try everything under the sun to get me to take him on.. Slowing down, standing on it, slowing down again.. I got more of a thrill out of ignoring him. Poor Hyundai. He soooo wanted to be noticed. Hahaha

Boy racers everywhere ....

... At just about every set of traffic lights I get a sense that people want to race off. I don't really understand it and am happy to let them try and race off.

God damnit so I just got home so yeah this is kinda still fresh on my mind. I don't know why the hell I thought it was a good idea to go to wal mart for some damn ice cream because DAMN it is PACKED!! I didn't think people started lining up or getting ready for black friday.

Anyways I'm on my way home, I decide to take the interstate home and this orange lookin FRS with these Tuned Camrys (Scion TC) pull up next to me well the FRS does I see his Tuned Camrys behind him or behind me maybe 2 of them. So the FRS pulls up next to me and rolls down his window and gives me the thumbs down followed by a middle finger. And I look and I swear this kid is like 16 years old probably just got his license.....maybe it's daddys car idk.

So I just flick him off and shoo him away with my right hand like I don't give a damn right, I honestly just wanna eat my damn cookies and cream oreo ice cream (eating one as I type this) I guess this hurt the kids' ego he has someone in the car with him idk if it was his friend or girlfriend but I guess he was a little embarrassed. This guy decides to line up and match my speed and my damn exit is like not that far away. So I down shift and signal right and cut in front of him and get ready to take my exit.

I took my exit and I noticed that I'm blind as fck this douchebag is HIGH BEAMING the fck outta me and on my ass. So now I'm getting a little irritated and we pull up to a stop light, and he gets beside me along with his Tuned Camrys behind us. Surprisingly there's little to no traffic and he has his windows rolled down and is revving at me.......LOL no offense but our cars don't really sound that nice stock. So I rev back, still waiting on this damn light and my damn ice cream. And finally it turned green and let's just say I never saw this kid ever again.

THANK YOU UEL HEADERS AND THE STAGE 2 TUNE!!

Well there's my story of the day hope you guys enjoyed it I would say more but fck it there's a story and I'm eating my ice cream and I'm happy. I hope all his friends are making fun of him and giving him shit like "DUDE YOU GOT SMOKED" or something like "Damn I want a BRZ now fck the FRS"

I'm not really gonna argue his point, I was minding my own business on my way home. If I'm the douche driver because I took him at a stoplight whatever.

I understand where the guy is coming from. Sometimes you have to be the bigger person no matter how hard it is. I also understand where you're coming from, and if I had a header and tune, I would have done the same thing. Just because you're a kid driving a "hot rod" doesn't give you the right to act like a jack ass and turn your brights on behind someone to blind them. That's dangerous and grounds for an ass whooping. I think you did the right thing and hopefully it knocked him down a few pegs.

Unfortunately that is rarely the result of such an encounter. Instead he will probably just get even more aggressive and dangerous in attempt to gain face with his buddies.

The "teach them a lesson" method is not effective and if Allt had crashed, caused the other dude to crash or got busted then we would all hear how it was somebody else's fault. From Allt's own story he wasn't exactly an innocent here either. He could have just smiled and nodded to the initial encounter, slowed down and pulled in behind the guy at the ramp or not reved just drove away normally at the light. Instead he took the dude's bait and acted just as badly. Whether he "won" or not is not the point since in the end he acted just as badly as the guy he is calling out.

If somebody is being an asshat just ignore them. If they are acting dangerously then get a plate number and call the police.

Had this fool pull up next to me at a light in a Pagani huayra the other day. He down shifted aggressively so I knew he wanted to go. I backed up and did a nice big burnout to warm up my slicks. Light turned green and after that all I saw was him get smaller in my rear view. Guess he couldn't handle 221.3 whp created by my turbo boosting intake.

Here's proof, if you say otherwise it's because your just mad that i have the worlds fastest BRZ bro
